Theft results in blocked access to northern end of Lake Tutira
Access to the northern end of Lake Tutira has been blocked until further notice by trustees and families of the B7 and B19 land blocks. These are lands that have only recently been returned to the trust after a 50-year lease expired last year.
They are exercising their mana whenua right and putting up a gate to shut out any public access through their land.
One of the trustess, Josephine Brown told Te Kāea, “It's come to this because really of people trespassing on to private property now and removing our property.”
16.5 hectares of land, including part of Lake Tutira, has just been returned to them.
But it seems not everyone is happy about it after the trust's signage was stolen….
